Baku

Baku (Japanese: バク, Baku) is a purple Tapir character created by the Japanese company Sanrio in 2005. Baku made his debut as the sidekick of Kuromi in the anime series Onegai My Melody, where he flies her around and helps her fight against My Melody. He has the ability to sniff out the dreams of others, and often appends his sentences with "zona". His favourite genres of music are enka and kayōkyoku, while his favourite foods are takoyaki and yakitori (generally favouring food he can put on skewers). Even when Kuromi is mean to him, he remains patient.
